What you get

Each record is one filed WARN notice, cleaned and normalized:

• Employer and site address, city, county and workforce area
• Employees affected (parsed as a number)
• Notice date, received date and effective / layoff date (normalized to YYYY-MM-DD)
• Layoff vs closure type and permanent vs temporary, where the state reports it
• Industry / NAICS and WARN number, where available
• Latitude / longitude and a notice detail URL for states that publish them

You are only ever charged for real notices that are returned. An empty or failed run costs nothing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a WARN notice? Under the US Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, employers must give advance notice of a mass layoff or a plant closing. Those notices are filed with the state and published, which is the data this actor collects.

Which states are covered? California, Texas, Washington, Georgia, Maryland and Oregon are supported today, selectable from the state dropdown. Each state publishes its own official WARN filings, and more states are added over time.

Can I filter to recent or large notices only? Yes. Set a notice date from and/or to (YYYY-MM-DD) to keep only notices filed inside that window, set a minimum number of employees affected to focus on the largest layoffs, filter to layoffs vs closures or permanent vs temporary, and add a keyword to focus on a specific employer or area.

How fresh is the data? Notices are read live at run time, so each record reflects what the state has published at the moment of the run (see observedAt).
